FYI Recognition of Electronic Documents as Evidence: ITA-2000 and the amendments made in the Indian Evidence Act consequent to the passage of ITA-2000 provide a legal recognition for any electronic document in any offence that falls under the Indian Penal Code or any other Act in India. Hence e-mails, Web pages, chat room transcriptions, message boards are all equivalent to print publications for the purpose of determining defamation, obscenity etc. A publisher is therefore liable for every such content if the evidence is properly presented in a court of law.
